Devin Armani Booker (born October 30, 1996) is an American professional basketball player for the Phoenix Suns of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He played one season of college basketball for the Kentucky Wildcats, winning SEC Sixth Man of the Year before being drafted 13th overall by the Suns in the first round of the 2015 NBA draft. Booker is a four-time All-Star, a two-time All-NBA member, and is the Suns' all-time leading scorer. He has also won gold medals with the 2020 and 2024 U.S. Olympic teams.[1]

Key Information

The son of former basketball player Melvin Booker, Devin debuted with Phoenix at 18 years old and quickly became one of the league’s top scorers. At 20, he became the youngest player to score over 60 points in a game, finishing with a Suns franchise record 70 against the Boston Celtics. At 22 years old, he became the youngest player in NBA history with consecutive 50-point games. Booker helped lead the Suns to the NBA Finals in 2021 and earned All-NBA First Team honors in 2022 after a franchise-best 64-win season. In 2025, at 28, he became the Suns’ all-time leading scorer.

Early life

[edit]

Booker is the son of Veronica Gutiérrez, a cosmetologist,[2] and Melvin Booker, who was named the 1994 Big Eight Player of the Year while a point guard at Missouri.[3][4] His parents met while his father was playing basketball for the Continental Basketball Association's Grand Rapids Hoops in Gutiérrez's hometown of Grand Rapids, Michigan.[5] Booker was born and raised in Grand Rapids, living with his mother, who is of Mexican descent[2][6] while his African-American father pursued a professional basketball career internationally.[7][8] He visited his father regularly during the summer. At age 12 while visiting him in Milan, he played one-on-one with Danilo Gallinari, then teammate of his father's at Olimpia Milano.[2][9] Booker was taught by his father that having basketball IQ was just as important as natural athleticism.[10] During his time in middle school, Booker became friends with future fellow NBA players D'Angelo Russell and Tyler Ulis.[11]

High school career

[edit]

Sophomore year

[edit]

After playing for the freshman, junior varsity and varsity basketball teams during his freshman year at Grandville High School in Michigan, Booker moved to Mississippi to live with his father after the latter's retirement from professional basketball.[5] He enrolled at Moss Point High School, where his father was hired as an assistant coach, in August 2011.[4][5][12] In his team's fifth game of the season—a 52–32 loss to Gulfport High School—Booker scored more points (17) than the rest of his teammates combined (15).[13] In December, he hit a buzzer beater from just beyond half court to beat Harrison Central High School, improving Moss Point's record to 4–6 on the year.[14] By early January, Press-Register sportswriter Creg Stephenson opined, "Sophomore guard Devin Booker has developed into one of the top players on the coast in his first season with the [Moss Point] Tigers' varsity, averaging 22.7 points per game."[15]

In the Laurel MLK Shootout, Booker scored 54 points against Northeast Jones High School, falling nine shy of Litterial Green's Moss Point record for most points in a game, set in 1988.[16] He followed up that performance with 32 points, including a game-winning three-pointer, against Murrah High School and was named ESPNHS.com's Southeast Player of the Week.[5] At that time, his father told reporters that Booker was drawing interest from Mississippi State, Ole Miss, Florida, Alabama, Georgetown, Michigan and Missouri.[5]

Booker was limited to just 14 points, with no field goals made in the second half, in a 57–55 win over Gautier High School in the opening round of the Division 7-5A tournament.[17] In the championship game against Pascagoula High School, Booker was held to single-digit scoring (8) for only the second time in the season as Moss Point lost 48–32, setting up an away game with defending state champion Wayne County High School in the first round of the South State playoffs.[18] Wayne County focused their defense on Booker, holding him to a single, first-quarter free throw, en route to a 57–37 victory that ended Moss Point's season.[19] For the year, Booker averaged 22.8 points per game and was named the South Mississippi Player of the Year by the Sun Herald, becoming just the second sophomore to be awarded the honor.[20] In the announcement, the paper reported that Booker held scholarship offers from Ole Miss, Alabama, Georgetown, Michigan and South Alabama.[20]

In the summer following his sophomore year, Booker played in the Nike Elite Youth Basketball League and participated in the Elite 100 Camp, the LeBron James King's Academy Camp, and the Kevin Durant Nike Skills Camp.[16] These commitments caused him to miss the inaugural South Mississippi All-Star Basketball Showcase in May.[21]

Junior year

[edit]

With most of Moss Point's experienced players graduating, Booker switched to point guard for his junior year.[16] In an early December game, Booker outscored the entire Ocean Springs High School team 40–39 through three quarters en route to a 48-point finish as Moss Point won 100–55.[22] He followed up this performance with a 30-point outing, including 7 three-pointers, in a win over 54–37 win over Laurel High School in the second annual Melvin Booker Shootout, named in honor of his father.[23] The following week, Booker left a game against Harrison Central High School in the third quarter with a sprained MCL; he had scored just 9 points, but grabbed 7 rebounds.[24]

Booker's injury proved minor, and did not hamper him in Moss Point's next game, where he scored 26 points in a 52–48 loss to Davidson High School in the Jackie Laird Christmas Classic at Biloxi High School.[25][26] On the second day of the Classic, Booker scored a season-high 49 points in an 80–65 win over Brewbaker Technology Magnet High School, a performance that added Duke to the list of schools recruiting him.[25][27] In early January, Moss Point went 1–2 in the Poplar Bluff showdown in Poplar Bluff, Missouri, defeating Memphis' Kirby High School but losing to Maplewood Richmond Heights High School and host Poplar Bluff High School.[25] University of Missouri fans attended en masse to cheer for Booker, who averaged 30.2 points over Moss Point's three games, hoping to entice him to play for the Tigers.[25]

Booker scored a game-high 32 points in a 58–56 loss to Gulfport High School, the top-ranked team in Mississippi, in Moss Point's final game before divisional play, dropping the team's record to 6–11.[28] Moss Point went 3–3 in Division 7-5A, finishing the divisional season with a 51–40 victory over Gautier High School.[29] Booker, who struggled with his outside shot due to a wrap on his injured right wrist, hit all 17 of his free throws en route to a game-high 30 points in the win.[29] Moss Point closed out the regular season with a 67–65 loss to Division 5-6A champion Hattiesburg High School, despite 43 points from Booker.[30]

The following week, Moss Point faced a rematch with Gautier in the first round of the Division 7-5A tournament with a spot in the state tournament on the line.[29] Moss Point fell 54–51 in double overtime, ending the team's season at 12–16.[31] Booker scored 35 points in the loss, including 17 free throws.[32] For the year, he averaged 29.7 points, eight rebounds and four assists per game while carrying a 3.81 grade point average.[33] He was named to the Division 7-5A All-Division team and was the division's MVP.[34] In March, he was named the Mississippi Gatorade Player of the Year for 2013, and in April, he became the second player ever to win the Sun Herald Player of the Year Award in consecutive seasons.[4][35]

By the end of Moss Point's season, Booker held scholarship offers from Duke, North Carolina, Florida, Michigan, Michigan State, Missouri, and Mississippi State.[36] Rivals.com ranked him a four-star prospect and the 30th-best player overall in the class of 2014; ESPN tabbed him as the 18th-best player overall.[36] Recruiting analyst Evan Daniels called Booker "one of the best shooters" in the country.[4] In April, Booker began playing for the Alabama Challenge on the Nike Elite Youth Basketball League circuit.[37] After watching Booker play for the first time in the league's opening weekend, Kentucky coach John Calipari offered Booker a scholarship.[4] At the South Mississippi All-Star event in May, Booker scored 23 points to lead his East team over the West team 101–70 in the underclassman game.[38]

Senior year

[edit]

During the summer of 2013, Booker participated in the Kevin Durant Skills Academy, the LeBron James Skills Academy, the CP3 Elite Guard Camp, and the National Basketball Players Association (NBPA) Top 100 camp.[37] His fellow participants in the NBPA camp voted him to the camp's 10-man all-star team.[39] Booker also participated against international competition at the Nike Global Challenge.[37] At the Under Armour Elite 24 showcase, he won the three-point shooting contest.[40] In August 2013, Booker narrowed his list of potential college choices to Florida, Missouri, Michigan, Michigan State, and Kentucky.[41] He took an official visit to the University of Kentucky on the weekend of September 9 to watch an alumni exhibition game; fellow 2014 prospects Jahlil Okafor and Tyler Ulis also attended.[42]

Near the beginning of October, his high school coach said Booker would announce his college choice on October 31 after taking official visits to Michigan and Missouri; he also stated that Booker was no longer considering Florida.[43] Booker stated that ESPN had offered him the chance to make his announcement on live television, but he declined, saying he didn't want the pressure of such an event and that he wanted to keep the date flexible to allow his family from Michigan to attend.[44] At an October 31 ceremony at his high school gymnasium, Booker announced he had chosen Kentucky, citing the program's history and his affinity for coach John Calipari as primary factors in his decision.[41][45] He, Tyler Ulis, Karl-Anthony Towns and Trey Lyles all signed National Letters of Intent to play for Kentucky on November 13, the first day of the official signing period.[46]

Booker at the 2014 McDonald's All-American Boys Game

In December, Booker's Moss Point team traveled to the Marshall County Hoop Fest in Marshall County, Kentucky, to play Louisville's Ballard High School, the top-rated high school team in the state.[47] Booker led his team in points (40), rebounds (9), and assists (2) while shooting 50% from the field and 20-for-24 from the free throw line, but his team lost the game.[47] Two games later, he scored a season-high 45 points in a 78–67 loss to Alabama's McGill-Toolen Catholic High School in the Melvin Booker Shootout.[48] Although Moss Point lost all three games they played in the late-December HighSchoolOT.com Invitational, Booker's 111 total points over those three games fell just four short of Donald Williams' 1991 record for the event.[49]

Booker's 38-point performance in a January 31 win against Pass Christian High School made him Moss Point's all-time career scoring leader with 2,263 points, surpassing the 2006 mark of 2,251 set by David Booker (no relation).[50] Moss Point won Mississippi's Region 8-4A regular season and tournament championships before ending their season with a 61–56 loss to McComb High School in the Class 4A South State Finals.[51] Booker scored 42 points in the loss, including 26 in the fourth quarter.[52] He averaged 30.9 points per game in his senior season and finished his three-year career at Moss Point with 2,518 points.[51] After the season, he was named to the USA Today All-USA third team.[53]

In the 2014 Alabama-Mississippi All-Star game, Booker had a game-high 31 points and was named MVP of the Mississippi team, but his team lost to the Alabama team 90–83.[54] Booker's 31 points tied Othella Harrington's 1992 performance for the most ever scored by a Mississippi player in the event.[55] Booker joined future Kentucky teammates Ulis and Lyles on the West team in the 2014 McDonald's All-American Game, while Towns suited up for the East.[56] He scored a three-point basket in each half and finished with 8 points as the West won 105–102.[57] In March, all four were selected for the Jordan Brand Classic, with Booker and Ulis on the West team and Towns and Lyles playing for the East.[58] In May, Booker participated in the South Mississippi All-Star Basketball Showcase leading the Home team with 43 points, including a three-pointer to send the game into overtime, in a 114–106 win against the Away team.[59] He was named the game's MVP.[59]

College career

[edit]
Booker in October 2014

In Kentucky's first exhibition game against the University of Pikeville on November 2, 2014, Booker was the team's second leading scorer with 16 points on 6-of-9 shooting, including two three-pointers; he also had three assists.[60]

After a standout 15-point, 6-rebound, 7-assist game against Boston University, Booker posted a then-season-high 18 points in a November 23 win against Montana State.[61][62] He led the team in scoring, shooting 6-of-8 from the field with 3 three-pointers.[62] In Kentucky's next game against Texas-Arlington, Booker set a new season high with a team-high 19 points on 7-of-8 shooting, including five made three-pointers, in a 92–44 win.[63]

In 38 games for Kentucky in 2014–15, Booker averaged 10.0 points, 2.0 rebounds, and 1.1 assists in 21.5 minutes per game.[64] He subsequently earned SEC Sixth Man of the Year honors and was named to the SEC All-Freshman Team and the All-SEC Second Team.[65]

On April 9, 2015, Booker declared for the NBA draft, forgoing his final three years of college eligibility. He was joined by fellow Kentucky teammates Andrew Harrison, Aaron Harrison, Dakari Johnson, Willie Cauley-Stein, Trey Lyles, and Karl-Anthony Towns.

Professional career

[edit]

Phoenix Suns (2015–present)

[edit]

On June 25, 2015, Booker was selected as the thirteenth overall pick by the Phoenix Suns in the 2015 NBA draft.[66]

2015–16 season: All-Rookie honors

[edit]

On July 13, Booker signed his rookie-scale contract with the Suns,[67] and in seven subsequent Summer League games, he averaged 15.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 1.7 assists per game. He went on to make his NBA debut two days before his 19th birthday, in the Suns' season opener against the Dallas Mavericks. In 21 minutes of action against the Mavericks, he scored 14 points on 6-of-7 shooting in a 111–95 loss.[68]

"We thought he had a lot of potential. We loved his character and work ethic, his size and his shooting ability stood out. I think sometimes when you're on a team with a lot of talent like Devin was at Kentucky, all that talent can do one of two things: it can mask some of your deficiencies if you do lack in some areas. I think in Devin's case, it was the opposite of that."

—Ryan McDonough, Suns GM[69]

On January 2, 2016, Booker scored a then season-high 21 points in a 142–119 loss to the Sacramento Kings.[70] On January 19, he scored 32 points in a 97–94 loss to the Indiana Pacers, setting a Suns' rookie record with six three-pointers. Booker became the third-youngest player in NBA history at 19 years, 81 days old to record a 30-point game, behind LeBron James and Kevin Durant, as well as the youngest Suns player to score 30 or more points in a game.[71] Booker participated for Team USA in the 2016 Rising Stars Challenge.[72] He also competed in the NBA All-Star Weekend's Three-Point Contest, becoming the youngest contestant ever to participate in the event and only the fourth rookie to compete in the 30-year-old contest,[73] joining Stephen Curry (2010), Kyle Korver (2004) and Dennis Scott (1991).[74][75] He made it to the final round of the event, where he finished third behind the "Splash Brothers" – Curry and Klay Thompson (winner).[76]

On March 3, Booker scored a then-career-high 34 points in a loss to the Miami Heat,[77] On March 10, Booker recorded a career-high 35 points in a loss to the Denver Nuggets.[78] Throughout the month of March, Booker led all rookies in points (22.4) and assists (4.9) per game.[79] On April 9, with 16 points scored in a 121–100 win over the New Orleans Pelicans, Booker reached 1,014 for the season, making him the fourth-youngest player to reach 1,000 career points, following only LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and Kobe Bryant, as well as the third-youngest during their rookie season.[80] Booker finished fourth in the 2016 NBA Rookie of the Year Award voting[81] and earned NBA All-Rookie First Team honors.[82] He became the first Suns player to be named as a member of the All-Rookie Team since Amar'e Stoudemire in 2003.[83]

2016–17 season: Improving as a sophomore

[edit]
Booker in November 2016

During the offseason, Booker trained with head coach Earl Watson and former NBA player Baron Davis at UCLA,[84] was invited to be on the select team that practices against Team USA in preparation for the Summer Olympics,[85] and played two games for the Suns during the Las Vegas Summer League.[86][87] With teammate Eric Bledsoe returning from injury in 2016–17, Booker was retained as the starting shooting guard while Brandon Knight was moved to the bench.[88] Booker scored career highs of 38 points and 39 points on November 4[89] and 6.[90]

On January 12, 2017, he scored 28 fourth-quarter points, in another 39-point night, to set the Suns franchise record for most points in a quarter, previously held by Stephon Marbury's 26 points in 2002.[91] He had a second straight 39-point effort in a two days later[92] to become the youngest player in NBA history to record consecutive games of 39 or more points in the regular season.[93] He was named to the U.S. Team for the 2017 Rising Stars Challenge,[94] and was invited to take part in the 2017 Taco Bell Skills Challenge.[95] On February 4, at 20 years, 97 days old, Booker became the youngest player to score at least 20 points in 16 consecutive games. His 16-game streak is the second-longest by any first-year or second-year player since Vince Carter had a 23-game run as a second-year player during the 1999–2000 season.[96][97]

"What strikes a lot of people about Devin is all the other stuff he can do – he's really developed his ball handling, his pick and roll game, he thinks the game at a high level. But I'll be honest, we had no idea he'd be able to do this much, this quickly. Devin has done unbelievably well not just on the court but representing the franchise in the community as well. He was a bright spot for us in a difficult year."

—Ryan McDonough, Suns general manager[98]

On March 24 against the Boston Celtics, Booker became the sixth player in NBA history to score 70 points in a game, joining Wilt Chamberlain, David Robinson, David Thompson, Elgin Baylor and Kobe Bryant. It was the 11th 70-point game in NBA history. Booker also added eight rebounds and six assists in 45 minutes. Booker, at age 20, became the youngest player to score 70 (and 60) points in a game. He had the highest-scoring game in the NBA since Bryant scored 81 in January 2006.[99] The Suns' previous scoring record was held by Tom Chambers with 60 points on March 24, 1990.[100] Booker ended the season averaging 22.1 points per game, a near 9-point increment from his 13.8 points in 2015–16.

[edit]

On July 7, 2018, Booker signed a five-year, $158 million maximum contract extension with the Suns.[112][113]

On September 10, he was ruled out for six weeks after undergoing surgery to repair the fifth metacarpophalangeal joint in his right hand after he jammed it in practice on March 14, 2018.[114][115] He recovered in time for the Suns' season opener on October 17, scoring 35 points in a 121–100 victory over the Dallas Mavericks.[116] Throughout the beginning of the season, he had multiple 30-plus-point games despite missing a six-game stretch when he strained his hamstring.[117][118] On January 24, Booker became the fifth-youngest player in NBA history to reach 5,000 career points, behind LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Carmelo Anthony, and Dwight Howard.[119]

On February 25, he scored 20 points to help the Suns break a franchise-record 17-game losing streak with a 124–121 win over the Miami Heat.[120] On March 25, he scored 59 points in a 125–92 loss to the Utah Jazz.[121][122] On March 27, he scored 50 points in a 124–121 loss to the Wizards, becoming the youngest player in NBA history with consecutive 50-point games.[123] He also became the first player in franchise history to reach 50 in back-to-back games.[124] On April 3, in a 118–97 loss to the Jazz, Booker sprained his left ankle, ruling him out for the last three games of the season.[125]

This streak broke a franchise record for most consecutive 30-plus-point games in a row, beating a record previously set by Charlie Scott twice and Charles Barkley once.[127] In addition, his streak from December 28 until January 7 made him the only player since the 1983–84 NBA season to record six straight performances of 30-plus points and 6-plus assists with 47% shooting efficiency.[128] On January 28, Booker became the fourth-youngest player to reach 7,000 career points, behind only LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and Carmelo Anthony.[129] Booker was named an All-Star on February 13, 2020, as an injury replacement after Damian Lillard suffered an groin strain injury a day earlier. He also replaced Lillard in the Three Point Contest, an event he had previously won, and finished as the runner-up behind Buddy Hield.[130]

In the 2020 NBA Bubble, Booker helped the Suns reached an 8–0 record as of August 11, 2020, holding an 8-game winning streak for the first time since the 2009–10 season.

[edit]

On January 22, 2021, Booker reached 8,000 points scored in a 130–126 overtime loss to the Denver Nuggets, straining his left hamstring during that overtime.[133][134] He returned to action on February 1, reaching 700 career three-point shots, including a game-winning 3-pointer with 1.5 seconds left in the game, to win 109–108 over the Dallas Mavericks.[135] Two days later, Booker passed Dan Majerle for 10th place in the Suns all-time scoring list in a 123–101 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans.[136] On February 8, 2021, Booker scored a season-high 36 points in a 119–113 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers.[137] He later matched his season high for points on February 13 in a 120–111 win over the Philadelphia 76ers.[138] Booker was then named the Western Conference Player of the Week for the first time in his career on February 15 for the week of February 8–14, 2021,[139] becoming the first Suns player to get the award since Goran Dragić in 2014.[140] On February 24, for the second year in a row, Booker was named an All-Star as an injury replacement, this time to Anthony Davis.[141] He and Chris Paul became the first Suns duo since Steve Nash and Amar'e Stoudemire in 2010 to be named All-Stars.[142] The duo would also help Phoenix clinch their first playoff berth since 2010.[143]

Booker in April 2022

During the 2021–22 NBA season, on November 29, 2021, Booker was named the Player of the Week in the Western Conference for his performance during Week 6 of the season,[152] which helped the Suns achieve a franchise-record 18-game winning streak. He received the honor again on January 17, 2022, for his efforts during Week 13.[153] Booker was named an All-Star along with teammate for the third year in a row alongside teammate Chris Paul when reserves were announced on February 10.[154] That night, he was selected for Team Durant as part of the All-Star Draft.

Early life and education

Early life

Devin Booker was born on October 30, 1996, in Grand Rapids, Michigan, to Melvin Booker, a former standout point guard at the University of Missouri who played briefly in the NBA and professionally overseas, and Veronica Gutiérrez, a Mexican-American cosmetologist.[9][1] The couple never married but co-parented effectively, with Booker primarily raised by his mother in the nearby suburb of Grandville.[10] He is his father's only child but has two half-siblings from his mother's other relationships: an older half-brother, Davon Wade, and a younger half-sister, Mya Powell, who lives with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome, a genetic condition affecting development.[11][1][12] Booker's early childhood was shaped by his parents' separate lives, as his father's professional career in leagues like the USBL and in Europe limited consistent family time together.[1] He spent most of his formative years in Michigan, attending local elementary schools amid a stable but modest upbringing with his mother, while visiting his father during summers in Moss Point, Mississippi.[10] At age 14, in the summer of 2011, Booker relocated to Mississippi to live full-time with his father, a decision driven by the desire to immerse himself in a basketball-focused environment and strengthen their bond.[13] This move marked a significant transition from suburban Michigan life to the coastal community of Moss Point. From a young age, Booker was drawn to basketball, largely inspired by his father's experiences as a college All-American and pro player, which served as a guiding influence on his development.[10] Melvin Booker personally instructed his son in core fundamentals, such as shooting technique and footwork, fostering an early passion for the sport during visits and phone calls.[14] Booker's initial exposure to competitive play came through youth leagues in Michigan, evolving into more structured opportunities via AAU circuits, including stints with teams like the Alabama Challenge after his relocation, where he honed his skills against top regional talent.[15]

High school career

Booker attended Moss Point High School in Moss Point, Mississippi, beginning with his sophomore year in 2011 and continuing through his graduation in 2014. After playing his freshman season at Grandville High School in Michigan, he moved to Mississippi to live with his father and joined the Moss Point varsity team, where he quickly emerged as a standout scorer. His high school career was marked by rapid improvement and recognition as one of the top prospects in the country. As a sophomore in the 2011–12 season, Booker averaged 22.8 points per game across 31 contests, helping to elevate the team's performance with his scoring ability.[16] During his junior year in 2012–13, he transitioned to point guard and boosted his production to 29.7 points, 8 rebounds, and 4 assists per game, despite the team's 12–16 overall record.[17] For his efforts, Booker was named the Gatorade Mississippi Player of the Year, recognizing his leadership and impact on the court.[18] In his senior season of 2013–14, Booker averaged 30.9 points per game, guiding the Tigers to a 17–14 record and a region championship.[19][20] He concluded his Moss Point career as the program's all-time leading scorer with 2,518 points, surpassing the previous mark in a 38-point outing against Pass Christian High School.[1][21] Booker earned McDonald's All-American honors, scoring 8 points in the prestigious game, and was selected to the Clarion-Ledger All-State first team.[22][23] Nationally, Booker was regarded as the No. 4 shooting guard and No. 19 overall recruit in the class of 2014 by ESPN.[24] His development was further honed through early AAU play with the Oakland Soldiers, where he competed against elite talent and refined his shooting and playmaking skills.[25]

College career

Booker committed to the University of Kentucky on October 31, 2013, choosing the Wildcats over other top programs following a standout high school career at Moss Point High School.[26] He enrolled for the 2014–15 season and played under head coach John Calipari, joining a highly touted freshman class that included Karl-Anthony Towns and Trey Lyles.[27] During his lone college season, Booker served as a key reserve guard, appearing in all 38 games without a start while averaging 21.5 minutes per contest.[28] He contributed 10.0 points, 2.0 rebounds, and 1.1 assists per game, showcasing efficient scoring with 47.0% field goal shooting, 41.1% from three-point range on 3.7 attempts, and 82.8% free-throw accuracy.[28] His standout performances included two 19-point games—against UT Arlington on November 25, 2014, and UCLA on December 20, 2014, where he made a career-best five three-pointers in an 83–44 rout.[19] For his contributions off the bench, Booker earned SEC Sixth Man of the Year honors.[3] Booker played a supporting role in one of Kentucky's most dominant seasons, as the No. 1-ranked Wildcats finished 38–1 and earned the top seed in the NCAA Tournament's Midwest Region.[27] The team advanced to the Final Four for the first time since 2012, defeating Hampton, Cincinnati, West Virginia, and No. 3-seed Notre Dame (68–66) in the Elite Eight before falling to Wisconsin (71–64) in the semifinals.[29] In the tournament's five games, Booker averaged 7.2 points while shooting 45.7% from the field and 26.7% from beyond the arc.[30] After the Final Four loss, Booker declared for the 2015 NBA draft on April 9, 2015, forgoing further college eligibility. He was widely projected as a mid-to-late first-round selection, praised for his smooth shooting stroke, quick release, and potential as a perimeter scorer in the professional ranks.[31]

Professional career

2015–16 season

The Phoenix Suns selected Devin Booker with the 13th overall pick in the first round of the 2015 NBA draft.[32] Booker signed a four-year rookie-scale contract with the Suns worth $9,985,165, with team options for the third and fourth years.[33] He made his NBA debut on October 28, 2015, against the Dallas Mavericks, scoring 14 points in 21 minutes off the bench while shooting 6-of-7 from the field.[34] In his rookie season, Booker appeared in 76 games for the Suns, making 51 starts, and averaged 13.8 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 2.6 assists in 27.7 minutes per game.[6] His scoring efficiency included a 42.3% field goal percentage and a 34.3% three-point percentage, contributing to a team that finished with a 23-59 record.[35] Booker set a franchise record for rookies by totaling 1,051 points, surpassing the previous mark held by Alvan Adams from the 1975-76 season.[36] This performance earned him a spot on the NBA All-Rookie First Team, where he ranked fourth among rookies in scoring average.[37] A notable milestone came on March 10, 2016, when Booker scored a then-career-high 35 points in a loss to the Denver Nuggets, showcasing his emerging scoring prowess with 13-of-21 shooting from the field.[38]

2016–17 season

In his sophomore season with the Phoenix Suns, Devin Booker demonstrated significant improvement as a scorer and playmaker, building on his rookie-year foundation to establish himself as a primary offensive option. He appeared in 78 games, starting all of them, and averaged 22.1 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 3.4 assists per game while shooting 42.3% from the field and 36.3% from three-point range. These figures marked a notable leap from his debut campaign, with Booker emerging as the Suns' leading scorer amid a rebuilding effort.[6] Booker's scoring prowess reached a historic peak on March 24, 2017, when he became the youngest player in NBA history to record 70 points in a game, achieving the feat at age 20 against the Boston Celtics. In that contest, which the Suns lost 130–120, Booker tallied 70 points on 21-of-40 field goal shooting (including 4-of-11 from three-point range) and 24-of-26 free throws, while also contributing 8 rebounds and 6 assists. This performance, the highest-scoring output by a Suns player at the time, underscored his explosive potential despite the team's ongoing struggles.[39][40] The Suns finished the 2016–17 season with a 24–58 record, placing 15th in the Western Conference and missing the playoffs for the second straight year. Booker led the team in scoring average, highlighting his central role in an offense that ranked ninth in the league at 107.7 points per game but faltered defensively.[41]

2017–18 season

The 2017–18 season presented significant challenges for Devin Booker amid the Phoenix Suns' ongoing rebuilding efforts, as injuries limited his availability and contributed to a difficult year for the franchise. The Suns finished with a league-worst 21–61 record, marking their third consecutive season without playoffs and underscoring the team's struggles in the Western Conference.[42] Booker, entering his third NBA year as the Suns' primary scoring option, appeared in 54 games, averaging 24.9 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 4.7 assists in 34.5 minutes per game, while shooting 43.2% from the field and 38.3% from three-point range.[6] His scoring efficiency dipped slightly from the previous season due to the physical toll of increased usage on a young, injury-plagued roster, but he remained a bright spot, leading the team in scoring and demonstrating improved playmaking. Booker's season was disrupted by multiple injuries, beginning with a left adductor strain suffered on December 5 against the Toronto Raptors, which sidelined him for 11 consecutive games. He returned on December 28 versus the Los Angeles Lakers, contributing 19 points in a 97–109 loss, signaling his resilience despite the layoff. Later, persistent pain in his right hand—stemming from a March injury—forced him to miss the final 12 games of the regular season, limiting his overall participation to just over two-thirds of the schedule and preventing a full evaluation of his development in a healthier context. These setbacks highlighted a performance dip in consistency, as Booker shot below 40% from the field in several stretches post-injury, though he still notched efficient outings, including a 10-assist effort against the Portland Trail Blazers on January 16.[43] Despite the hardships, Booker showcased his growing versatility and star potential. Early in the season, he recorded a then-career-high 10 assists on December 1 against the Golden State Warriors, facilitating a balanced attack during a brief Suns hot streak. His highlight-reel performance came on December 4 versus the Philadelphia 76ers, where he erupted for a season-high 46 points on 16-of-30 shooting, including five three-pointers, powering a 115–110 victory. These moments affirmed his role as the Suns' offensive engine in a rebuilding phase marked by roster turnover and defensive woes. Booker capped the season with a standout showing at NBA All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles, where he set a record by scoring 28 points in the Three-Point Contest final to claim the title—edging out Houston's Tobias Harris in a dramatic finish. Following the regular season, he underwent surgery on his right hand in September 2018 to address the lingering injury, which had impacted his grip and shooting in the latter months.[44] This procedure, performed after initial attempts to play through the pain, allowed for a full recovery heading into the next year, underscoring the physical demands of his rapid ascent as Phoenix's cornerstone player.

2018–19 season

In the 2018–19 season, Devin Booker established himself as the Phoenix Suns' franchise cornerstone, signing a five-year, $158 million maximum contract extension on July 7, 2018, that underscored the team's commitment to him as its long-term leader.[45] Having become the primary offensive option following the Suns' trade of Eric Bledsoe to the Milwaukee Bucks in November 2017, Booker shouldered the scoring and playmaking responsibilities for a rebuilding roster lacking veteran support.[46] Despite the Suns' dismal 19–63 record—the worst in franchise history since 1968–69—Booker's consistent production and on-court decision-making exemplified his growing leadership amid ongoing team struggles.[47] Booker played in 64 games, starting all of them and leading the NBA in minutes per game with 35.0, while averaging 26.6 points, 6.8 assists, and 4.1 rebounds.[6] His scoring efficiency stood at 48.7% from the field and 86.7% from the free-throw line, though his three-point shooting dipped to 32.6% on increased volume.[6] These numbers highlighted his elite scoring prowess, as he ranked among the league's top guards in usage and output, often creating opportunities for teammates in a Suns offense that ranked 23rd in points per game.[47] Booker's season peaked with historic scoring outbursts in March 2019, where he became the youngest player in NBA history to post consecutive 50-point games.[48] On March 25, he erupted for a career-high 59 points (18-of-30 FG, 4-of-7 3PT, 19-of-20 FT) in a loss to the Utah Jazz, followed by 50 points (17-of-26 FG, 4-of-8 3PT, 12-of-13 FT) and a career-best 10 rebounds against the Los Angeles Clippers on March 28.[48] His campaign ended prematurely due to a fractured left hand sustained in the Jazz game, sidelining him for the final 24 contests, but these performances cemented his reputation as the Suns' offensive engine and a rising superstar.

2019–20 season

In the 2019–20 season, shortened by the COVID-19 pandemic, Devin Booker earned his first NBA All-Star selection as a reserve for Team LeBron, replacing the injured Damian Lillard. The game took place on February 16, 2020, at the United Center in Chicago, where Booker contributed 6 points, 4 rebounds, and 1 block in 19 minutes of play. This milestone highlighted his emergence as one of the league's top scorers, marking the first All-Star nod for a Suns player since Steve Nash in 2012.[49][50] Booker appeared in 70 games for the Phoenix Suns, averaging 26.6 points, 6.5 assists, and 4.2 rebounds per game while shooting a career-high 48.9% from the field and 35.4% from three-point range. His improved efficiency reflected a more balanced offensive role, complementing his scoring volume with enhanced playmaking and shot selection amid the Suns' rebuilding efforts. The team finished the regular season with a 34–39 record, placing 10th in the Western Conference and missing the playoffs.[6] In the NBA bubble at Walt Disney World, the Suns went 8–0 in their seeding games, with Booker averaging 30.5 points, 6.0 assists, and 4.9 rebounds over eight contests. A standout performance came on August 4, 2020, against the Los Angeles Clippers, where he scored 35 points, including a game-winning buzzer-beater two-point fadeaway jumper contested by Paul George and Kawhi Leonard to secure a 117–115 victory. Despite the strong finish, the Suns did not qualify for the postseason.[51][52]

2020–21 season

In the 2020–21 season, the Phoenix Suns acquired veteran point guard Chris Paul, whose arrival elevated Booker's play by providing better spacing and playmaking support on the court. Booker appeared in 67 games, averaging 25.6 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 4.3 assists per game while shooting 48.4% from the field.[6] His consistent scoring and improved efficiency earned him his second NBA All-Star selection, following his rookie-year nod in 2020. The Suns finished the regular season with a 51–21 record, securing the second seed in the Western Conference behind only the Utah Jazz.[53] In the playoffs, Booker made his postseason debut as Phoenix defeated the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers 4–2 in the first round, where he averaged 29.7 points per game across the series, highlighted by a playoff career-high 47-point outing in Game 6. The Suns then swept the Denver Nuggets 4–0 in the second round. The Suns advanced to the Western Conference Finals against the Los Angeles Clippers, overcoming a 2–0 deficit to win 4–2; Booker averaged 25.5 points and was named the Western Conference Finals MVP by ESPN for his clutch performances. Phoenix reached the NBA Finals for the first time since 2001, facing the Milwaukee Bucks. Booker averaged 28.2 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 4.0 assists over the six-game series, highlighted by back-to-back 40-point performances in Games 4 (42 points) and 5 (40 points), both Suns losses; he became the third player in NBA history to achieve back-to-back 40-point games in the Finals.[54][55] Despite his contributions, the Suns lost the series 4–2, with the Bucks clinching the championship on July 20, 2021.[56]

2021–22 season

In the 2021–22 season, Devin Booker appeared in 68 games for the Phoenix Suns, averaging 26.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 4.8 assists per game while shooting 47.2 percent from the field.[6] His scoring efficiency and playmaking continued to anchor the Suns' offense, as he reached 30 points in 28 games and notched a season-high 49 points with 10 assists in a victory over the Denver Nuggets on March 24.[57] Booker earned his third consecutive NBA All-Star selection, appearing as a reserve for the Western Conference team in a game postponed and later held in Cleveland. Under coach Monty Williams, the Suns set a franchise record with 64 wins, securing the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference and demonstrating elite consistency following their NBA Finals run the prior year. Booker's leadership was recognized with his first All-NBA First Team honor, joining Giannis Antetokounmpo, Luka Dončić, Nikola Jokić, and Jayson Tatum as one of the league's top performers, based on voting from media panels.[58] In the playoffs, the Suns defeated the New Orleans Pelicans 4–2 in the first round, where Booker averaged 23.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 4.0 assists across six games.[59] They advanced to the Western Conference semifinals but fell to the Dallas Mavericks 3–4, with Booker contributing 23.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 4.6 assists per game over the seven-game series.[59]

2022–23 season

On July 6, 2022, Booker signed a four-year supermax contract extension with the Phoenix Suns worth $220,441,984, making him the highest-paid player on the team through the 2027-28 season.[33] The 2022–23 season was marred by injuries for Booker, who missed 29 games due to a groin strain in December 2022 that sidelined him for at least four weeks and subsequent hamstring and ankle issues.[60][6] In 53 games played, he averaged 27.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 5.5 assists per game while shooting 49.9% from the field and 38.4% from three-point range.[6] Booker's absences contributed to the Suns' inconsistent performance, though he posted several high-scoring outings upon return, including a season-high 58 points against the Chicago Bulls on December 17, 2022.[61] Despite the challenges, the Suns finished the regular season with a 45–37 record, securing the No. 4 seed in the Western Conference.[62] In the playoffs, Phoenix swept the Minnesota Timberwolves 4–0 in the first round before falling 2–4 to the Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference semifinals. Booker elevated his play in the postseason, averaging 33.7 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 7.5 assists across 11 games, including a playoff-career-high 47 points in Game 5 of the first round against the Los Angeles Clippers. Against the Nuggets, he averaged 31.7 points per game, showcasing his scoring prowess with efficient shooting (50.4% from the field) despite the series loss.[63]

2023–24 season

During the 2023–24 NBA season, Devin Booker averaged 27.1 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 6.9 assists per game across 68 appearances for the Phoenix Suns, earning selection to his fourth All-Star Game.[64][6] His scoring efficiency highlighted a strong individual campaign, ranking sixth league-wide in points per game, while his playmaking placed him 11th in assists per game.[65] Booker achieved multiple high-scoring outbursts, including a season-high 62 points against the Indiana Pacers on January 26, 2024, which tied for the third-highest single-game total in Suns history. He also dropped 52 points in a victory over the New Orleans Pelicans on January 19, 2024, showcasing his scoring versatility with efficient shooting from the field and free-throw line. These performances underscored his role as the Suns' primary offensive engine amid a competitive Western Conference landscape. The Suns finished the regular season with a 49–33 record, securing the sixth seed in the Western Conference.[66] In the playoffs, however, they were swept 0–4 by the Minnesota Timberwolves in the first round, with Booker averaging 27.5 points per game in the series despite the early exit.[67] His contributions earned him a spot on the All-NBA Third Team, recognizing his impact as one of the league's elite guards.[65]

2024–25 season

In the 2024–25 season, Devin Booker appeared in 75 games for the Phoenix Suns, posting averages of 25.6 points, a career-high 7.1 assists, and 4.1 rebounds per game while shooting 46.1% from the field.[6] His increased playmaking role highlighted a more balanced offensive contribution, as he also recorded 0.9 steals and just 2.9 turnovers per contest.[5] Booker achieved a significant franchise milestone on February 3, 2025, surpassing Walter Davis's record of 15,666 points to become the Suns' all-time leading scorer with a three-pointer in the third quarter against the Portland Trail Blazers, finishing the game with 15,678 points in his 642nd game with the team.[68] Davis had held the record of 15,666 points since 1988, and Booker's accomplishment underscored his longevity and consistency as Phoenix's cornerstone player.[69] Booker notched his season-high scoring output four days later on February 7, 2025, erupting for 47 points, 11 assists, and 6 rebounds to lead the Suns to a 135–127 overtime victory over the Utah Jazz.[70] The performance, which included 18-of-31 shooting, came amid a stretch where Booker averaged over 30 points in multiple games, reinforcing his status as one of the league's premier scorers.[71] The Suns concluded the regular season with a 36–46 record, finishing 11th in the Western Conference and failing to qualify for the playoffs.[72] Despite the team's struggles, Booker's individual excellence cemented his impact on the franchise's offensive identity.[64]

2025–26 season

On July 9, 2025, Devin Booker signed a two-year, $145 million maximum contract extension with the Phoenix Suns, securing his commitment to the franchise through the 2029–30 season.[73][74] The extension includes a player option for the 2029–30 season (deadline June 29, 2030). It has an average annual value of $72.5 million, the highest for any contract extension in NBA history at the time of signing. Combined with his existing deal, Booker has five years and approximately $316 million remaining on his contract. This deal followed a summer of significant roster upheaval for the Suns, including the trade of Kevin Durant to the Houston Rockets in a seven-team deal that brought in Jalen Green and Dillon Brooks, as well as the buyout of Bradley Beal, leaving Booker as the cornerstone of the team's rebuild. Booker's extension underscored his desire to remain a lifelong Sun, a sentiment he reiterated amid the changes, positioning him as the unquestioned leader of the revamped squad under new head coach Jordan Ott.[75][76] Booker made his season debut in October 2025, helping the Suns open the campaign with a mix of high-scoring outings that highlighted his offensive versatility. Through the first eight games as of early November 2025, with the team at 3-5, he averaged 30.2 points, 7.0 assists, and 4.1 rebounds per game, ranking seventh in the NBA in scoring while facilitating effectively in Phoenix's motion-heavy system.[77] Notable performances included a season-high 38 points on 13-of-24 shooting against the Golden State Warriors on November 4, where he added four assists and three rebounds despite the Suns' 118–107 loss.[78] Earlier, on November 2, Booker recorded 28 points and a career-best 13 assists in a 130–118 victory over the San Antonio Spurs, showcasing his playmaking prowess with efficient scoring and minimal turnovers.[79][80] These early contributions propelled the Suns to a 2-4 record entering November, with Booker emerging as the primary offensive engine and vocal leader amid trade rumors that had swirled around the franchise.[81] His scoring surge built on the all-time Suns franchise record he set in the prior season, further solidifying his legacy in Phoenix as the team aimed to integrate new additions like Green and Brooks.[82][83] As of November 15, 2025, after 13 games, Booker was averaging 28.5 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 7.0 assists, while the Suns held an 8-5 record.[77] On January 9, 2026, Booker led the Suns to a 112–107 home victory over the New York Knicks, scoring 31 points on 10-of-23 shooting while adding 8 assists and 4 three-pointers.[84][85] Dillon Brooks contributed 27 points, 7 rebounds, and 5 assists in the win, while Jalen Brunson scored 27 points for the Knicks, who committed 18 turnovers that led to 22 points for Phoenix.[84][86] A key moment came late in the game when Grayson Allen made a hustle play by tipping a pass and throwing the ball off Mikal Bridges to secure the victory.[85] On January 23, 2026, Booker sustained a right ankle sprain during a game against the Atlanta Hawks after rolling his ankle on the foot of Onyeka Okongwu with five seconds remaining in the third quarter, forcing him to exit the contest. He was on the floor for several minutes before limping off and was later seen on crutches. The injury sidelined Booker starting from that game, with initial reports indicating he would miss at least one week and be re-evaluated thereafter. As of February 7, 2026, Booker remained sidelined due to the right ankle sprain and was listed as questionable to play in the Phoenix Suns' game against the Philadelphia 76ers.[87][88][89][90] As of March 6, 2026 (corresponding to March 5, 2026 in US time zones), the Phoenix Suns were engaged in an ongoing game against the Chicago Bulls in the late fourth quarter, with the score at Chicago Bulls 104, Phoenix Suns 103 and seconds remaining. Devin Booker had accumulated 24 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists in 31:32 minutes of play, shooting 8/20 from the field, 1/6 from three-point range, and 7/7 from the free-throw line, along with 1 steal, 6 turnovers, and 2 blocks. Notably, Booker had recently made a 27-foot three-pointer to bring the Suns within one point of the lead.[91][92]

The 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo were postponed to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with the basketball tournament taking place from July 25 to August 7, 2021.[93] Devin Booker was selected to the final 12-man U.S. Men's National Team roster on July 5, 2021, following his standout performance in leading the Phoenix Suns to the NBA Finals earlier that summer.[94] His inclusion marked his first Olympic appearance, where he embraced a versatile role on a star-studded team coached by Gregg Popovich.[3] Booker played in all six games for the U.S. team, starting five of the six games and averaging 20.7 minutes per game, coming off the bench only in his debut outing against France.[3] He contributed 9.3 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 1.8 assists per game while shooting 42.2 percent from the field, 33.3 percent from three-point range, and 92.8 percent from the free-throw line; he also recorded nine steals across the tournament, showcasing strong defensive contributions.[95] His efforts helped the U.S. secure a 5-1 record, including a comeback victory over France in the opener despite Booker's four points in that game.[3] A pivotal performance came in the August 5 semifinal against Australia, where Booker erupted for 20 points on 8-of-12 shooting, including three three-pointers, fueling a second-half surge in the U.S.'s 97-78 win.[96] In the gold medal game on August 6 against France, Booker added two points, one assist, and one steal in 22 minutes, focusing on defensive intensity as the U.S. held off a late rally for an 87-82 victory to claim their fourth consecutive Olympic title.[97] Booker's defensive engagement and rebounding were highlighted as key to the team's success, earning praise for his adaptability among elite teammates.[98]

2024 Paris Olympics

Booker started all six games for the United States men's basketball team at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, France, representing an expanded role compared to his reserve position during the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. He averaged 11.7 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 3.3 assists per game across 133 minutes of play, while shooting an efficient 56.8% from the field and posting a team-high +130 plus/minus rating.[99][100] His contributions were particularly notable in key knockout-stage matches. In the quarterfinals against Brazil on August 6, 2024, Booker led the team with 18 points on 6-of-9 field goals, including 5-of-7 from three-point range, along with 3 rebounds and 3 assists to help secure a 122-87 victory. During the semifinals against Serbia on August 8, 2024, he added 6 points and a crucial three-pointer that sparked a 17-point fourth-quarter comeback in a 95-91 win.[101][102] Booker closed out the tournament with 15 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 assists in 28 minutes during the gold medal game against France on August 10, 2024, contributing to the United States' 98-87 victory and their fifth consecutive Olympic title.[103] U.S. head coach Steve Kerr later dubbed him the team's "unsung MVP" for his clutch scoring, defensive intensity, and ability to adapt to a supporting role amid a star-studded roster, stating, "Devin Booker is an incredible basketball player. Nobody asked about him. He was our unsung MVP."[104] In post-Olympics interviews, Booker emphasized the exceptional team chemistry that fostered unselfish play and propelled the group's success, describing the experience as "special" and expressing gratitude for sharing the court with such accomplished teammates.[105]
